"Coro's ICLP gave me the tools to advance my work in neighborhood-specific cultural production and become a better leader. The program connected me to a diverse network of professionals from all walks of life and various sectors that are defining the future of our city. It also gave me the time to reflect on my skills, leadership style, and life and work balance. I feel very honored and lucky to be part of the Coro family!"

"Coro has given me tools and a language to help me achieve what I enjoy most about interacting with people-discovering their potential and providing an environment where they can thrive. I'm also proud of and inspired by my amazing colleagues who show strength through vulnerability and wisdom through honesty."
